Kayak Pittsburgh Gift Ideas
Just in time for the Holidays, Kayak Pittsburgh Gift packages!
These gifts are perfect for the paddling enthusiast or as a way to introduce
a beginner to the water (but they are such good deals that you may want to
keep them for yourself)! No one really needs another neck tie or sweater
and best of all these gifts are one size fits all. Spring is just one
cold winter away. We recommend this gift be accompanied with some strong
sun block and a good pair of sunglasses. Think SUN!

These gifts are available at the same prices for both the downtown and North Park locations.
